An artist who drew the Dick Tracy comic...

JOHN LOCHER, 25,

May 22, 1986

CHICAGO — JOHN LOCHER, 25, an artist who drew the Dick Tracy comic strip with his father, Dick Locher, died Sunday. The cause of death is not known but may have been related to thyroid problems, his father said. For weekday strips, the younger Locher did the pencil drawings and his father inked them in, and for the Sunday strips they switched roles, using the same routine that Dick Locher and the strip's founder Chester Gould followed. Max Collins has supplied the strip's story lines in recent years.
